Besides Doom and Half-Life, what were the best retro FPS games? Or even just general action games. Never had a PC until I was much older, and these days I realize most of what I played that's retro are just all the usual cRPGs. Nobody ever really recommends general action games and shooters.

I've been playing Blood and it's pretty dope, but I want more.

I've played heaps of quake 1 and duke nukem 3d, although i suspect you already know of them.
Early 3d games i remember playing as a kid and enjoying:
Nightmare3d
Strife
Heretic/Hexen
Blake stone (wolf3d engine iirc)
Dark forces

System shock 2 came a bit later but is pretty awesome.

Not really 'retro', but a recent game built in on the duke 3d engine that i really enjoyed:
Electric highways (zykoveddy.itch.io/electric-highways)

If you havent played Quake play that. Doom made the fps popular, but Quake defined it.

Quake II (for better or worse) probably had an even bigger influence, since that game more or less required you to go out and buy a new graphics card and then every fucking PC game started using full textured polygons after that.

lol no it didn't. It ran fine software mode on my MMX Pentium 200mhz. first game I ever remember requiring a graphics card was Kingpin, later Quake 3. I also remember Blood 2 didn't need a graphics card, but holy shit it ran like ass on my PC. Kingpin and Blood 2 were basically the first games that gave me the first experience of my PC specs waning.
